Why does Triodos invest in the Microfinance sector?

We believe that microfinance has a valuable role to play in lifting people out of poverty, and helping to create a fairer, more sustainable world. On the basis of this strongly held belief, we started investing in the microfinance sector in 1994, taking on the management of two foundation funds.

As a result, we've been able to build relationships and develop our understanding of the sector, from its earliest days; and we have funded a number of microfinance institutions that have subsequently become among the most successful in the world.
